The teen victims' identities were not released, but their ages were reported as 17, 16 and two younger than 15.

Police allege Henry encountered the teens in a foreclosed home last Thursday and convinced them to let him play cards with them. Henry, 20, allegedly pulled a firearm on the teens and robbed them before Britt entered the home.

Then both suspects allegedly forced the teens to perform sex acts until a third man, identified only as a friend of the suspects, arrived and helped the victims escape.

The Sun-Sentinel said Henry and Britt are both charged with armed robbery, kidnapping, sexual battery, promoting the sexual activity of a victim under 16, aggravated assault and armed burglary.

Henry also faces a charge of witness tampering for allegedly threatening the teens.
